Abstract:     
In the era of Global Services, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been gaining momentum for
building Web-based information systems. Service composition is one of the key objectives for adopting
SOA. Unfortunately, Web services are not always exactly compatible and it is a non-trivial task to address
the mismatches between them. To this end, an approach based on mediator patterns is proposed to
develop mediators for reconciling protocol mismatches of partially compatible services and mediating
them together. A heuristic technique is developed for identifying protocol mismatches and selecting
appropriate patterns. The main steps of the reconciliation approach are presented.
